Listening to music while swiping off the floor was probably not a good idea. Being completely oblivious to who walked in and out of the store was not good either but how could someone act responsible when nothing had ever happened in the neighborhood? It was just an ordinary day, in an ordinary city.1362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKVBwX8D1Yr
1362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx5wvh8dph5
The cashier was watching her closely. She wasn't even swiping the floor correctly but she was listening to loud music and was using the broomstick to entertain herself. The peculiar creature was dancing, mouthing the lyrics and chewing gum. The cashier shook his head dismissively.1362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBp8Bq3JozN
1362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCsXGnAy03m
"You're done for today, Evan."1362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡphO99kREpC
1362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaNS8K46biX
The boy sighed in relief and put down his hat. He went in the back to get his things and left his boss with the girl.1362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwrHKLXoDR5
1362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwifGy2dWe1
She didn't even see him entering the store because she was too busy waving her hands around. The girl was perplexed when she hit her boss straight in the ribs and pulled one earphone out while making a balloon with the gum.1362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvdqxZlL0bM
1362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF7d0Kg7cqU
"Oh, hey boss! You came in early today." She started leisurely.1362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs77AGnfGKG
1362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIh5OdprQPP
He narrowed his eyes at her, grumbling some swears under his breath before finally answering loudly.1362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0c89CJ6Y0E
1362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWilO8w2AHk
"Is that why I pay you, Abby? If I wanted you to offer a show to the customers, I would have told you." He snapped, his loud voice echoing through the empty store.1362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvxHNGqULeh
1362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0vMlBhJWgS
She only blew the gum in his face as response.1362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFM5NhRby6O
1362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw1PdP58udW
The old man rolled his eyes before he pushed her towards a shelf.1362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfliF5dXMgn
1362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlXMKeAKyE3
"Clean."1362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Yicp1FuVy
1362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHFnUhSs0Va
She rolled her eyes but started to swipe correctly.1362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ESFwPPipT
1362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF2mBAWR9X0
A few minutes later, while the cashier was still preparing to leave and the girl was trying her best not to dance again, three men dressed in expensive flashy suits entered the store. None looked better than the other, their styles were pretty much the same yet their suits were different colors. Unlike those old gangster movies, these men looked dangerous but at the same time, a bit silly with their hair gelled back.1362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvbHEwL8n4o
1362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0aY8ntMasv
Abby watched curiously as the three men stopped in front of her boss and looked down on him with a scowl.1362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRsA8Wm3KVM
1362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV452Kvg0L1
"Dewy, Dewy, Dewy. I thought you were smarter than that." The man with the scowl begun.1362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSuqxdGoadk
1362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnkuamhmXcO
Abby raised an eyebrow and leaned her whole weight on the broom, chewing gum loudly while watching the scene unfold. The guy in the middle was a bit taller than the others and held some kind of authority. Too bad his suit was dark red and he was a blond which, in Abby's mind, didn't work well.1362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmnztrPGERb
Evan never anticipated suspense in his life and working in a store was not exactly life-threatening so when he opened the door and walked out of the back room, his eyes widened at the sight of the three men. He didn't have to be a genius to figure out they were dangerous so, with one hand closed the door as silently as possible and sneaked out really slowly, hiding behind the counter. ?It was closer to the door and he could easily sneak out if the chubby man from the right would move further into the store.1362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLRGwQ2J5GX
1362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIU16qiht3r
"Look, I said I was going to pay in time. The month isn't up yet." Dewy stated feverishly, placing his hands on his waist.1362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHNlAqo8JP1
1362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKb2K5ThBja
The leader of the pack clicked his tongue, not content with the response he got.1362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5tLkX4a21j
1362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0hbUon3umv
"That's the thing, Dewy. I don't make the rules," He slapped his hands together and pointed upwards. "He does." He said before he glanced at Abby. She was a few feet from them. "Come here, kid."1362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6xICQVCel4
1362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ82ctPmjyPY
She gulped but once he narrowed his eyes at her, she complied.1362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwnmS6o41zb
1362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpKTWkseBhA
"You see this guy here. Does he look trustworthy to you?" The blond in the unfitting red suit asked.1362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn6Zj5Hbc3P
1362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNFjRE3SCnP
Abby glanced at her boss from the corner of her eye before shaking her head.1362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpzGDYkwqE6
1362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq0pt8UC2fe
"Not really. He always cuts my salary." She bluntly admitted. 1362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrpMtErRwhc
1362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3lLCTPr4vr
The three men laughed loudly before the tallest one made a gun with his hand and pointed it at the boss.1362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK0oRq6BQCl
1362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8lER8KRNBJ
"You little-"1362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtFY2JWYBU7
1362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDcyMhdKorg
The manager didn't have time to scold his employee because the blond shouted.1362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2PTPn5qrAs
1362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPWOJ4lj3dO
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"1362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsg5lUO4PSY
1362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGxfu1jBIs3
The manager closed his eyes but nothing happened. Dewy opened one eye to peek at the dangerous men before a loud shooting sound echoed throughout the store. Evan, who was hiding behind the counter, flinched. He tried to keep silent by covering hsi mouth so no one would actually notice him.1362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNiVaYrvpRn
1362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdTZ0OgO0wt
When the shot went through the manager's head, blood got spilled on Abby's cheek. Her eyes widened and her heart stopped for a minute. She turned to the three men and gulped, thinking that she will follow her former boss shortly.1362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3G1LWpJDbX
1362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNauxEPZBas
However, the tall blond let his eyes travel up and down her body before making a sign for the others to come closer.1362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9qshFHjle7
1362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoBUmWeMTUU
"You're not half bad, kid. You'd bring good money if you'd get a proper training." He added, his eyes never leaving her frame.1362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiS1eFnQsQm
1362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkWNtp9b8YM
It was sickening from every point of view, especially Evan's. He was too scared to move but he did; he creeped out, trying to see who died and if the chubby man moved. Luckily, he did and Evan suddenly got an idea.1362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9XTsOPQdY5
1362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡje3xNsTf5l
The same tall blond was ready to grab Abby when a shelf spontaneously fell aside.1362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9LULbIyICQ
1362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjgGRuFe1JY
"Go check if there's anyone else here." He ordered the others and they actually complied without a word.1362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjTal8WVdkb
1362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmdUEVQXFqe
Abby raised an eyebrow, already getting over the shock of seeing someone getting shot in front of her.1362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ237NZ4Zvvc
1362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFY8iEDvlDl
Evan couldn't stand there and do nothing, especially after someone already died. He hid behind the counter and stuck his head out to see her. He made a sign with his head towards the door before mouthing the word Run!. Luckily, she noticed and understood but she needed a diversion in order to run.1362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkofuxbeqnH
1362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYYtv3AUsCI
With no better idea, Abby smiled goofily and took a step closer to the blond. She spat the gum in his eye, surprising him and also Evan. However, that proved to be enough to make him fuss over, stumbling around, far from her.1362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLILlxzGYwG
1362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdXhf9MOf3e
Evan grabbed her hand, seeing how she wasn't moving towards the door, and they ran out of the store. They could hear the gunshots and the angry screams behind and Abby glanced over her shoulder, the goofy smile still wide on her face.1362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkSAknjWrkH
1362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAVJbqwF1sm
"Ugly and chubby are running after us!" she shouted as if Evan wasn't next to her, "We're too slow! They're going to catch up! Or even worse, call for backup!" She added.1362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCATP1pewo1
1362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjQIXXSnc7j
Evan was panicking enough, she didn't have to add more fuel to the fire.1362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyjyY3i30ut
1362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJTOO3JUfen
"We have to steal a car!" Evan suddenly said and stopped.1362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡePQhYKFlfd
1362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlnMscEASY5
Abby stopped behind him and stared at him like he was an idiot.1362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA042HUJPuJ
1362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKlt5EnvWvf
"We have to! Do you want to get caught? They're going to kill me and make you a prostitute!" He started, visibly overreacting but at the same time, she realized they might do that after she spat gum in his eye.1362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1AOuaxXvcr
1362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaigIvvqg4K
They didn't have a choice and ran in the middle of the street, Evan jumping in front of what looked like an average car. The driver stomped on the break and rolled down the windo, giving perfect opportunity for evan to open the door and pull him out forcefully.1362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRXPJhzld3w
1362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUrgrQf4ACa
Abby hurried in the passenger seat, not taking a second glance at the colateral victim.1362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCM98ucbsuD
1362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD0PLSGNdYx
"Go!Go!" She screamed once he got in.1362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgSih6foZ7c
1362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaAAyUsmuFp
The man screamed and almost hit Evan but the boy rolled up the window and stepped on the acceleration, getting them out of there as soon as possible. The common man started to run after them but they were moving too fast. His car was gone.1362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUkXSjkJZVV
"Oh my God,"1362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Ii2amm8oB
1362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHf3isN10zm
She sighed in relief, feelinmg her heartbeats slowing down to a normal pulse. They could finally breathe and relax.1362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1tI12sd9h2
1362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4RXwSqTbva
"I think we lost them for now." He said calmly, checking on the review mirror.1362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJZtFjBtRsu
1362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUi9jZiuySh
Indeed, no one was following them. Abby took a last look behind before she rolled up her window and turned to the driver. Her behavior suddenly changed: her eyes were shining and she looked excited instead of being scared.1362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbax3x2THet
1362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUkZ9KCw4f4
"Wasn't that amazing? We had our first meeting with mafia." She started, bitting her lower lip in excitement.1362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwoLUojaJYU
1362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpA2cvQOoeU
Evan frowned and threw her a weird look.1362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyTLXXdEudc
1362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT8cUDiv9pB
"Are you crazy? We witnessed our boss being killed. They won't let us go easily. If they see us, they kill us." He added, gripping the wheel at the thought.1362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVQxAkIEr53
1362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnuemjrG3m8
"I know. It feels like I'm dreaming. One minute he was there and next-" She slapped her hands together loudly. "Bam! He's dead and-" She remembered the blood on her cheek and wiped it off. "Isn't this just crazy?!"1362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPKDVu2twF3
1362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRmZU5n82HK
Evan rolled his eyes and decided she was still feeling the adrenalineso she was thinking she was in an action movie not in a real life threatening situation.1362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKxMoOoneFK
1362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiBrhVe5fWG
"You're crazy. Have you not understood what happened? They're going to kill us if they ever catch a glimpse of our faces!"1362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjS6PEmlAFc
1362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRKvVL59kPy
Evan was a nice guy who worked three jobs to pay his scholarship. Being dragged into a misunderstanding with the mob and being in a car with an insane girl wasn't exactly the way he wanted to spend the night; or any night for that matter.1362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCnUq3wEL4k
1362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVcnoRnwQbM
Abby leaned back and looked ahead, her joyful expression cracking here and there.1362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsrVezV8VwI
1362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMtMlcgkgIP
"Calm down, we lost them. We're safe." She answered, feeling her hands tremble now that the adrenaline was fading away.1362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ96HAH8Cga
1362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvWCKAiytl0
"For now." Evan added curtly. He took a sudden turn and stopped the car before closing his eyes and sighing dramatically.1362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu1U0IyPmVX
1362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp9jRTxXYgr
Abby blinked curiously when he dropped his head on the steering wheel.1362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVxSMoTk8W7
1362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJF5U3xELK6
"We're so doomed!" Evan whined.1362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKMzigtGoie
1362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6AlmhsPDvV
Suddenly, her phone rang, surprising both of them. They glanced at each other suspiciously before she responded with Evan staring intensely at her.1362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7rCJJUhu2s
1362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu0mRM37C36
"He-Hello?" She breathed out, not recognizing the number.1362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡowYcEpEhsn
1362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeujqztf6vU
The voice on the other side was deep and manly. He breathed in the receiver, making her shiver.1362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ93T7ZmyucB
1362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1FNZsmZtF1
"Abigail Lincoln and Evan Graham," Her eyes widened at the husky voice, "Do you know the number one rule in my business?"He asked, sounding like he was smoking while talking to her because he was taking short breaks while speaking,"Never leave witnesses. Let's keep in touch."1362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoqEGgnAJFB
1362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡitujFrxL0y
That was all before he hung up.1362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ7UK95VjaK
1362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIMUxg0NbMG
"Who was that?" Evan asked, breathing heavily since he had an idea already.1362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKs5gW3xwe7
1362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ20AcHLmf7O
Abby couldn't look him in the eye. Even though she was acting all brave a few minutes ago, the color in her cheeks and the glint in her eyes disappeared.1362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdsLjbTPhEp
1362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJK6cDht1Pk
"We're doomed." She repeated, looking down at her hands.1362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLdiWCoXKzq
1362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdp1sqd6VeE
Evan groaned and dropped his head back on the steering wheel.1362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiPGf90WV5r
